A lady who was responsible for cutting our tree came back asking for another job.
But mom recommended her to a friend of mine. Before that she asked him to do some cleaning on the back. And found a termite hive almost as big as a basket ball.
Though she has gotten rid of the hive, I bet it's not the only one, I've seen there presence everywhere. Not to mention the wood that's been holding off our ceiling and roof would have also been infested already.
I hope it's not worst as it is, or we won't be having a roof anymore.

Hello @JudyEv They really caught me off guard back there and Iknow there is more inside the stock room. I wouldn't be surprise if some of them are on the roof.

@Letranknight2015 Australia is bad for termites too and new houses have a wire type of guard put in the walls to prevent them getting in.

I don't know about dealing with termites so I guess my recommendation is pest control, try to contact the person who can do the job.

our ceiling has this 'soil climbing around', i guess this is the house of the termite. we would sweep them with the hard broom.

Hello @ridingbet You need to get rid of it as soon as possible. In our case they use a solution to get rid of some of them.
